Abstract:
Form 423 data is used by Commission staff to conduct mandated fuel reviews and also conduct rate investigations under Sections 205 and 205 of the Federal Power Act as amended by Section 208 of PURPA and to monitor change and trends in the electric whole- sale market. Form 423 permits the regional identification of regional fuel price patterns and variations. The data has helped to identify the effects of the quality of fuels, market conditions-, and the origin of production on fuel prices, which can signal possible procurement inefficiencies.
